Fail Quotes

Funny, I've never had to "focus on being NOT RACIST." I just judge people based on their individual merits. Nothing else makes any sense to me.

The comments aren't much better.

it was the holocaust that did this to us - it was too horrifyingly over the top, it laid the foundation for idiot hippy philosophies based on 'zero discrimination' and total relativism, which is championed every generation by gangs of dreadlocked university grads. We need to reclaim the harsh realities of life, that no person or idea is the equal of another, and all must fight to survive. Like roman emperors decrying luxury and hunting for sport, we need to embrace harsh realities and truth

Enthalpay is still at it in the comments of this major fail of a video: [yt]LKEcsAx8h7k[/yt]

(Him directed at Shane):  "Way to reject empirical evidence. The government ALREADY does this successfully! This is not all hypothetical."
Do I even NEED to point out the projection and hypocrisy (and serious lack of citations) in this one?

(Him directed at me after telling Shane the stuff Shane is informing him of is material I learned in basic macro and micro economics): "Where did you study economics?"
I'm sorry, but if this *isn't* a loaded question, I'll eat my damn shorts.  Second, who the fuck cares?

Amen to that.

"Jail is the best kind of rehab." - That douchebag wife of Dog the Bounty Hunter

Thankfully this stupid show is ending soon. Now if only the War on Drugs would end so these fuckers wouldn't have a job anymore.

Reminds me of a post from someone on LTH's DA account:  There should only be laws against 5 types of behavior:  murder, rape, theft, fraud, assault (stuff like that).  That those are the real crimes.
To which LTH made fun of the police by saying what he imagined they really think (not a fail):  "But those people are dangerous; we might get hurt if we only go after them! ;_;"
I'd say that applies to Dog and his fucktarded family as well.

Also, she *is* aware that people have far easier access to drugs in jail than out, right?  Jail is the best rehab like McDonald's is the best diet.

edit:  fixed typo

which means Dog is a coward, Police are generally cowards, and we're all doomed...

well, Choomed anyways. Obama's president.

Also, there is good news.  Encyclopedia Dramatica is back up:  http://encyclopediadramatica.se/Libertarianism

As Morrakiu would probably say regarding the content of both URLs:  We (libertarians, anarcho capitalists, and free marketers in general) must have made someone incredibly butt-hurt. 

EDIT:  I just did a Google search for the ".se" domain.  ED seems to have moved to a server hosted in Sweden or something.  Interesting.

It would be nice if Huben would at least once in a while fix his strawman arguments or incorrect data in response to the corrections Libertarians have given him over something like 15 years...

IIRC, his website has been posted here before.  In fact, that was what got me to post his entire website in fail quotes.
That's why we call them "dogmatists", and members of the "Cult of the Omnipotent State."

EDIT:  The worst part of his site?  This little gem:

"Established 10/25/94.
Last updated 09/26/11."

So he updates it fairly regularly while leaving out the corrections.  Oh, Mike, that's so state cultist of you. ^_^

More from enthalpay, specifically from the comments of this video:

(Shane's comment is in blue, mine in green, with the failure being in red as always.)

Shane:  "Another question: if Keynesian economics is good science but Austrian economics isn't, then how come Keynesian theory fails in its predictions time and time again: jDOTmp/JRXIrt
While Austrian theory succeeds in its predictions: jDOTmp/JRXyAr
Isn't making successful predictions the hallmark of good science?"

enthalpay:  "Way in which Austrians act like creationists number 5: Cherry picking. I could just as easily provide you with successful predictions by mainstream economists and failed predictions by Austrians!"

Me: "Go on."

enthalpay: "See Peter Schiff's failed prediction of high inflation over the period 2009 - 2012.
watch?v=3Y1NR4b71j0 - Again it's cherry picking, but that's the point!
There's a reason why the New Keynesian school is the dominant school of macroeconomic thought in academia, you know.
Look at the great liquidity trap we have in Europe as an example."

Aaaand, speaking of butt-hurt, I'd say this is a fail as well: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

Especially their pages on Libertarianism, Free Markets, economics, Crank (beliefs)* etc.
*includes Libertarianism and groups it along with global warming denialism, creationism, etc.

Really, that site is basically just a liberal-douche version of Encyclopedia Dramatica.  Hell, at least ED has the decency to be honest about their intentions (satire, documentation of ze lulz & internet culture + memes, shock humor, etc) and don't pretend to be uber rational.

[Gumba Masta]

I think you ment Conservapedia.
Also the only page on ED that actually had a positive overtone, that I found, was James Randi's.
So yeah, he is magic.

[MrBogosity]

No, RationalWiki's about as bad as Conservapedia. Even when they reach the right conclusion they get there fallaciously, and it's so smug and condescending it'd never convince the fence-sitters.

I'd still like to know how they managed to take over (and subsequently destroy) the Skeptic Wiki.

I'd still like to know how they managed to take over (and subsequently destroy) the Skeptic Wiki.

because Liberals claim to be sophisticated (something about college education makes you more liberal), and people are appealed to by even pretension of sophistication, which in turn means that greater herds of Liberals exist compared to Libertarians. thus in any environment, the sheer numbers may trump better design.

at least, that's the Arab in me looking at this question.
